Re: Advice for transition from student to mentor, too involved?
As I'm not a mentor I'm not going to comment too much on when people can go back to their previous teams.
Scouting wise, I would advise you stay away from paper at worlds. I've worked with our strategy department there twice before, and paper makes everything a hassle. Especially going through the data. We tried to do an excel database the second year, and it makes looking through the data a lot easier, but getting the data into it is a nightmare.
Ultimately though, even if your team is using paper I wouldn't advise drastically changing the way you scout for worlds. Everyone already knows what they need to do, and switching mediums now is just going to confuse your scouters.
Whatever you decide, don't make the decision yourself. Get the scouters together, and have a meeting. Maybe you can find out why they want to change and work together with them to improve your app. If the juniors and seniors aren't taking data, then I don't see why they should have input into the data collection system.
Whatever happens, good luck and I'll see you in St. Louis!
